A/N: Hello. :) Thanks for waiting. The last 2 chapters of "Infinity Train X Glitch Techs" are finally here for the dramatic conclusion (which is a bit happier this time compared to the ending of book 3). Anyhoo, enjoy.
Infinity Train X Glitch Techs
Book Three: Chapter 9: The Origami Car
The next morning, Grace was asleep in her shell when a stray rock person landed on her shell, waking her up with a jolt as her head, arms, and legs popped out the holes before noticing that the Canyon is now overflowing with a mountain of rock people before she turned around to see Tuba, Lena, and Damien handing out omelets to Atticus, Alan Dracula, Tulip, Gummi, Jesse, One-One, Lake, Miko, Five, Amber, and evening Max and Kazar before turning to notice Amelia, Hazel, and Simon before she went over to join the four with Simon turning to Grace.
"Grace, about last night...", Simon began.
"Yeah?", Grace asked.
"Well..., I understand why you had to keep Hazel's powers a secret now. And...I'm sorry.", Simon apologized.
"It's okay Simon. I was never mad at you, but right now, I didn't want to keep it from you. I was just thinking of Hazel.", Grace responded.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking. It was surprising to say the least to discover that our friend, Hazel is not like other passengers. And that Zenith turned out to be someone named Max, who is making sure that the train is working in proper order.", Grace spoke.
"Although, you did come off as too extreme when we first met.", Simon spoke.
"Yes, but understandably so. At first, at least.", Max responded.
"Just to remind you, you do have a time limit.", Amelia spoke up.
"I need to get this out, okay? From what I understand, Hazel, or more accurately, the glitch inside her, will be a danger to any car she enters. As the leader of the Apex, I have a group counting on me to keep them safe. And Hazel is part of that group now. We don't leave Apex behind.", Grace spoke.
"Of course we don't.", Simon agreed.
"Hazel, you're sticking with us.", Grace grinned.
"Really?", Hazel asked.
"Yeah, really. You're one of us and the fact that you have turtle powers doesn't change it, not even a little bit.", Simon grinned.
"Eh, it's about time you changed your mind.", Kazar grinned.
"You mean you're okay with this?", Simon asked.
"Oh, yeah. Using a pulse nullifier to make sure it doesn't read Hazel as an anomaly could be just the thing, anyways.", Kazar responded.
"You can do that?", Tulip puzzled.
"That's...actually quite brilliant.", Max spoke as Gummi squeaked and rubbed his nose with his stubs for a second.
"Of course. I came prepared.", Kazar responded.
"Onto the bridge for the next car!", Glad One shouted.
Later, the group were now standing in the middle of a bridge.
"Stand back! The pulse will be hitting any moment.", Amelia warned.
"Better hope this works.", Kazar spoke before then using his pulse nullifier, coating Hazel with a thin blue aura shield just before the pulse passed through.
This time, nothing happened as the bridge remained immovable.
"Well, nothing happened.", Jesse grinned.
"Looks like you're staying with us, Hazel.", Miko grinned.
"Yay!", Hazel cheered before suddenly giving a slightly sad look and then turning to Simon.
"Simon?", Hazel asked.
"Yeah?", Simon puzzled.
"You said the Apex are supposed to be brave. But if that's true, why were you all so...scared of me?", Hazel asked.
"What? Hazel, first off, we were scared for you, not of you. And secondly, I know now that being brave isn't not being afraid. It's having the courage to do something even if you are afraid. You helped me realize that.", Simon responded.
"Yeah?", Hazel asked.
"Yeah. Now, come on. Let's get to the next car.", Simon spoke just as Tulip turned to Amelia, Lena, and Damien.
"So, I guess we're...going our separate ways again?", Tulip asked.
"For now. But we'll all meet again soon.", Damien responded.
"Yeah. We gotta look for any other glitch signatures on the train anyway.", Lena added.
"And I will supervise the investigation.", Glad One spoke.
"Are you sure?", Atticus asked.
"Of course, I am.", Glad One spoke.
"Besides, I look kinda comfy and snug with the steward.", Sad One added.
"Well, with the mask open, maybe.", Atticus commented.
"Rude.", Sad One spoke.
"But excellent use of constructive criticism.", Glad One added.
"Well, guess we better get going. See you later..., Amelia.", Tulip waved before she and the others went for the door.
"Goodbye, Tulip. And good luck.", Amelia spoke with a slight grin.
Meanwhile, the gang entered a sort of origami car at sunset and walked along before Grace and Hazel noticed the origami birds on the ground before stepping around them as the latter giggled with Simon doing more than the same as he looked down and jumped up over them so as not to crush them.
"Finally. Things are back to normal. Well, sort of, what with the present company with us at the moment. Hazel included.", Simon spoke before Max turned to notice Simon stepping around the small house of origami denizens.
"Yes. I can see that.", Max spoke.
"You know, Hazel? With what happened so far, that kinda makes us like turtle sisters.", Grace grinned.
"Really?", Hazel asked.
"Yeah. I guess.", Grace replied.
"Turtle sisters? Really? Because apart from your shells and your breaks, I don't see any resemblance.", Max responded.
"Oh, very funny.", Grace smirked before laughing a bit.
Just then, a voice spoke up as the source stepped out from the shadows.
"You really should be more careful. You shouldn't have gotten here so fast.", Polaris spoke, making Tulip gasp with Tuba aggressively jumping up in front of the others with a glare toward him.
"Mark...", Max spoke.
"Wait. That's his real name? Mark?", Simon puzzled.
"I knew I couldn't trust you, Zenith. Then again, that's to be expected. And they called me a villain.", Polaris spoke.
"For the last time, I'm an undercover counteragent, not a villain!", Max retorted.
"You don't know what you're talking about! Hazel's our friend and you write her off like she was nothing!", Grace shouted.
"My plan has never been any closer to completion thanks to your constant, foolhardy adventures! If you didn't meddle with forces you never understood, Hazel would never have found her way to you! She would never have decided to stay with you, and all of reality wouldn't be in jeopardy! SOMEONE HAS TO PUT AN END TO THIS!", Polaris shouted while getting out a camera before using it on Grace and the gang as she shouted.
"What is your problem?!", Grace shouted before she grew puzzled to notice that she is in a dark lab.
"Huh? Wh-where are we now?", Grace asked.
"I think it looks like some kind of lab.", Five spoke.
"Yeah. A very dark, creepy lab!", Miko exclaimed.
"And it's about to get darker.", Kazar spoke, pointing to a young Polaris, who was conducting his first experiment as he was making a purple vial and finished before offloading it via tube toward the unfinished car.
"Now, let's see if this formula works.", young Polaris spoke as he took a look at one of the monitors before noticing that when the first vial released the gas around the turtle people upon landing, the turtle people only took a sniff and grew puzzled about the smell, which smelled more like grape before they still went on with their lives, albeit puzzled about the gas as it vanished.
"Well, that wasn't a very good start. Back to the drawing board, I guess.", young Polaris spoke with a sigh as he went to the table to try again.
"Huh. Kinda misleading right now.", Miko spoke.
"Okay, what is going on? And where are we anyway?", Grace asked before the real Polaris showed up as if you answer.
"This is the site of my first failure and the birthplace of my ultimate plan.", Polaris spoke.
"Mark, are you doing all this?", Simon asked.
"I don't go by that name anymore. It's Polaris, now.", Polaris responded.
"What? Those are your memories? But, how are you not...?", Tulip began.
"I took the liberty of making modifications to that trinket the cat gave me. Good thing, too. I have no intention of getting stuck in my own memories for eternity.", Polaris before the background went staticky and went to the first time he encountered Hazel.
"Hello. I'm Hazel.", the young Hazel greeted innocently, puzzling the young Polaris before thinking to himself.
"Wait a minute. Maybe she could actually help me...", young Polaris thought before greeting young Hazel.
"Well, Hazel. It's a pleasure to meet you. By the way, I have some...appointments for you. Think you can handle that?", young Polaris asked.
"Mm-Hmm.", Hazel nodded.
"Good. Very good.", the young Polaris smirked.
Then, it got staticky again and changed to Hazel having her first "appointment" as she was on the doctor's bed.
"So, how does it work?", young Hazel asked.
"Well, think of it like getting a flu shot, but in reverse. It may sting a little, but it's nothing serious.", young Polaris assured.
"Okay.", Hazel responded before the young Polaris then took a sample of Hazel's blood and drop it into the vial before changing the variables of the formula before the background got staticky and then went to the young Polaris trying again with a more proper test run with the passengers around as the vial gave off a gas leak prior to departure with Hazel inadvertently breathing some of it in before the gas canister arrived at the unfinished car before opening completely, releasing the gas once more.
"And this is another on a long list of failures. But this one is where it seemed to make progress. The one formula that could solve all the Apex's problems by killing all the denizens... it's name is Nova 4. Its sole purpose was to eradicate all the denizens aboard this train, the Apex's hobby now turned into a solitary goal. At first, during the earlier stages, it seemed to work just fine. But then, all the passengers near it, 2,300 by my estimated count, wound up turning into denizens themselves.", Polaris responded as this time around, as the gas leaked, the turtle denizens, and a few corgi's were coughing before it started to seem like they were choking before they went limp and died, making Tulip and the others gasp in horror as Hazel whimpered, quivering in fear, before, as if it couldn't get any worse, the passengers inside wound up turning into turtle denizens themselves painfully as they grew claws, shells formed in their backs, and their mouths changed into beaks. And then, the young Polaris turned to notice young Hazel almost like the transformed passengers as she was partly herself, but partly turtle now, making him growl angrily as she panicked.
"Wh-what's going into?! What's on me?!", young Hazel exclaimed as she noticed the shell on her back.
"It's stuck on me!", young Hazel noticed before trying to remove it from her back, but to no avail before noticing that her skin had turned light green and scaley.
"It's my skin! Why is it my skin?!", young Hazel exclaimed.
"Filthy...!", young Polaris glared.
"What? Is that why she...?", Grace realized.
"Of course, that end result was sloppier than I intended. Matter of fact, while the actual denizens did perish, 2,300 passengers were transformed into the car's denizens to increase the population rather than decrease it. This frustrated me to no end. I even had to make the time I need for blood samples longer because of it. So, I had to dispose of them all before then. Call it a mercy killing.", Polaris stated as what he said had to be done took place, making them all the more horrified, although more appalled on Max's part.
"What have you done?", Max glared.
"Only whatever was necessary for my plan through trial and error.", Polaris responded.
"I hired you to make sure the Apex don't destroy another train car, and before that, you do...all this?! We're trying to rein in chaos, not create more of it!", Max berated.
"You really think that your hands are cleaner then mine? This train belongs to the Passengers! When I heard that a Passenger took control of the train for 33 years, I knew then and there this is our train and the only thing standing in our way is the Denizens and once they're out of the way, we will have complete control over the train and no more heroes to stand in my way.", Polaris responded.
"This is not how things work in the real world.", Max retorted.
"Says the guy I met while searching for Hazel right after this mistake.", Polaris retorted before it then showed Hazel going to her daily "appointment".
"Hello? I'm here for my appointment.", young Hazel spoke before overhearing Polaris' angry grunts as she turned around and looked through the door to find him smashing up the lab in a fit of rage before getting scared to a point where she had to run away, shedding tears, making Tuba glare at Polaris with a snort.
"In hindsight, I should've kept the door closed until I could pull myself together that day.", Polaris spoke as the background went staticky again.
"How could you even do that to your own daughter?!", Simon exclaimed.
"WHAT?! That's Hazel's dad?!", the rest of the group exclaimed in shock as Gummi squeaked.
"Huh...? Oh, yeah. That's the story I told you. I honestly can't believe you believed me.", Polaris realized.
"What?", Simon puzzled.
"Let me tell you something kid: I don't have any children.", Polaris responded before then pushing him aside and grabbing Hazel, who exclaimed.
"Just hold still, Hazel. It won't hurt a bit.", Polaris glared, holding a special gauntlet in place.
"Let Hazel go!", Simon exclaimed.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. She has something I need and I'm going to get it out with this. A special trinket from one of the passengers I had to dispose of. Ironic, isn't it?", Polaris responded before then using the special gauntlet to force the glitch out of Hazel as he phased his hand inside her body and grabbed the glitch before pulling it out, changing Hazel back to normal.
The moment the pink-purple entity was released, it gave off a hiss with the gauntlets giving off the same reading as before while Grace noticed it before realizing something with a gasp.
"That's the Omega Glitch!", Grace gasped.
"What are you talking about?", Simon puzzled.
"That's the glitch those gauntlets sensed earlier! No other glitch could give off that kind of power.", Grace responded.
"Yeah. She's right. The sensors are going whacko again!", Five responded.
"Good thing they aren't shorting out this time!", Miko added before the Omega Glitch then roared as it then charged toward Tulip, Jesse, Gummi, Grace, and Simon as they braced themselves.
When they did, Tulip, Gummi, and Grace found themselves at a dance academy of sorts.
"What? I'm...home?", Grace puzzled as Gummi squeaked.
"Never mind that. Where are Jesse, Simon and the others? And...Grace is that really you up there?", Tulip asked, pointing to her younger self, who is dressed in a sort of blue tutu and then did a comedic raspberry.
"Huh?", Grace puzzled before she, Tulip, and Gummi found themselves in the stage with Grace's parents in the audience seats and Grace out dancing with two other dancers next to her before Grace sighed and then noticed that the two seats are empty with the young Grace looking down.
"Grace, I...I had no idea.", Tulip spoke before Grace ran away.
"Grace, wait up!", Tulip shouted as she and Gummi went after her before meanwhile, Simon and Jesse quickly found themselves in the orphanage.
"Huh? Where are we now? And where are Tulip and the others?", Jesse puzzled.
"I don't know. You tell me!", Simon responded before Simon's younger version was dropped off near the entry door by his mother and father.
"Simon, I want you to know that we both love you very much.", Simon's mother spoke a bit sadly as she started shedding tears.
"Yep. That much is true. But we're just...going through a rough patch right now what with our financial problems and such. While other things may change as we go along, our love for you won't.", Simon's father added.
"But when will you two come back?", young Simon asked a bit anxiously.
"Honestly, I...I don't know. Someday soon, I hope.", Simon's father responded.
"But you can at least write to us every now and again.", Simon's mother added.
"Really?", young Simon asked.
"You bet, kiddo.", Simon's father responded before Simon gave his tearful hugs to his parents as if it may very well be the last time he sees them with Simon even getting tearful as both he and young Simon watched as his parents drove away.
"Okay. I don't know how to view this. One one hand, you shouldn't leave your kid at the orphanage, but on the other hand, it is a bit difficult to keep you with a sort of financial crisis.", Jesse commented.
"Oh, Gee. Thanks for ruining the moment.", Simon spoke sarcastically as he walked away.
"Oh. Sorry about that!", Jesse responded as he caught up.
Meanwhile, Tulip, Gummi, and Grace found themselves in an ice cream parlor with young Grace entering and looking at the menu before seeing a group of friends sitting at a table laughing before young Grace went over to them.
"You know, Sheena? You were right. Chloe shouldn't smile until her parents can afford to get her braces.", young Grace spoke before leaving with a smirk as the four friends fought (argued) with each other.
"Grace, that's awful.", Tulip reprimanded slightly as Gummi gave a sort of angry look at her before the background got staticky and then changed back to the mansion with young Grace in a purple dress and bonnet putting on lipstick.
"What is happening?", Grace puzzled.
"I've seen this before. Grace, I think we're seeing your memories before you got on the train.", Tulip responded as Gummi then turned to Grace again, without the angry look this time.
"Oh, no, Grace! Look at you!", her mother exclaimed as she walked in and glared at young Grace.
"I wanted to try a different look.", Grace responded.
"We're hosting Ambassador Morris tonight!", Mrs. Monroe spoke before sighing and motioning to the other attendants as only their clothes seemed visible as one after another appeared with each name mentioned, perplexing Tulip.
"Julie, Mollie, Jacob, Susan!", Mrs. Monroe spoke.
"What the...?", Tulip puzzled as Gummi squeaked in wonder.
"I don't have time for this. Take her to a movie or something.", Mrs. Monroe spoke as she walked away.
"Of course, Mrs., Monroe. She'll have a fun day.", the attendants spoke.
The young Grace, however, was not in a mood as she took off her bonnet and looked down.
Back to Simon and Jesse, they saw young Simon outside at the spelling bee as he was on his knees crying.
"Well, technically, the word 'preparation' has two a's, not two e's.", Jesse spoke.
"Yeah, I think I would know how words are spelled, Jesse. Although, looking back now, it is kinda ridiculous to cry about.", Simon admitted before the train arrived near young Simon, who ceased his sobs and saw a sort of medieval castle-like train as the door opened with a drawbridge coming out for him before Simon stepped aboard with the train disappearing.
"So, that's how you got on the train, huh? It's cool. I'm not one to judge. At least not anymore.", Jesse assured.
"Huh. Neither is Tuba.", Simon grinned a little.
Meanwhile, when Tulip, Gummi, and Grace turned around, they noticed young Grace sitting down in a seat near the police office looking down again.
"Grace, what did you do?", Tulip puzzled with worry as Gummi squeaked sadly for her.
"Let's just say...I had a really bad day and wanted to let out some steam, but...I was caught.", Grace responded.
"Caught doing what?", Tulip puzzled before young Grace's parents walked in and then came face-to-face with the officer.
"I'm sorry to tell you that your daughter was caught with a stolen bracelet from Blassie's. It seems she convinced her little friends to do the same.", the officer responded.
"Well, I'm sorry, too. Because you're obviously mistaken.", Mr. Monroe responded.
"Dad. I'm sorry.", young Grace responded.
"Just stay quiet and we'll fix this.", Mr. Monroe responded before he and his wife entered and argued with the officer as soon as the door closed.
"It's absurd time think that our Grace would need to steal. She was well-provided for! We raised her with morals! We give her guidance!", Mr. Monroe argued before the rest of the argument was tuned out as young Grace looked down.
"I just...wanted to be noticed...", Grace spoke before trying to reach for her younger self only to get a slight static and pull away as a result.
"Careful. It's not safe to do that here, not in your own memories.", Tulip responded.
At that moment, the train arrived in the form of a fancy one before stopping and rolling out a red carpet for young Grace to step in before boarding the train, which vanished.
"Wow, Grace. When you said you were doing it because you wanted to be noticed, I didn't think it was this bad.", Tulip spoke as Gummi squeaked.
"Tulip, I...", Grace responded before she, Tulip, and Gummi found themselves at a Pumpkin car as young Grace was being chased by a familiar being with a mask, flaming eyes, and metal tentacles, which was flying in the air.
"The steward!", Tulip spoke before said steward charged toward Young Grace, who squeaked before a sudden dark beep sounded, urging the steward to move away from young Grace and toward a sort of majestic black figure, whose metal mouth opened up with a red light with a right hand reaching out for the orb as the steward handed her said orb.
"Take what we need for the car.", a robotic voice spoke before the metal mouth closed with the steward flying away before the head turned to young Grace with the red line then vibrating into a red wave, astounding her.
"Wait. Is that...Amelia?", Tulip puzzled.
"That's...not right.", Grace spoke before the memory then changed back to normal with the gray skies of the pumpkin car now viewable and the big black figure turning about to be smaller, but still big, exactly like how Tulip remembered seeing Amelia when the two first met.
"Yep. That's definitely how she looked when we first met. Wasn't exactly a great first impression.", Tulip responded.
"So, that was how you first saw Amelia?", Grace responded.
"Yeah. In a robot suit.", Tulip responded with Gummi squeaking.
At that point, Grace, Tulip, and Gummi found themselves on top of the cardboard pile noticing a Ghom chasing after young Simon and young Samantha while Simon and Jesse noticed them and the Ghom passing by.
"Wait. Is that...?", Jesse asked.
"Unfortunately.", Simon responded.
"Simon!", Grace shouted before he and Jesse looked up to see her, Tulip, and Gummi.
"We're up here!", Tulip shouted.
"Tulip!", Jesse shouted.
"Grace! What are you girls doing up there?", Simon shouted.
"Same as you!", Grace responded before she and Tulip slid down to get to Simon and Jesse's level with both turning to see young Simon and young Samantha running from the Ghom with the latter fitting in the box while the former tried to squeeze into the box, but couldn't fit through.
"Samantha, I can't fit! Samantha, I'm still out there! Help!", young Simon shouted before the Ghom squeaked and growled about to attack young Simon when young Grace slid down and pushed the Ghom off-balance, giving her the opportunity to get Young Simon out of here.
"Let's follow 'em.", Tulip suggested before she led the way with Jesse following her quickly.
"Should we?", Simon asked before Grace nodded.
Then, all five headed out to catch up with Grace and Simon's past selves, who panted.
"You...saved me.", Young Simon spoke.
"Oh. Yeah... I did.", Young Grace responded before Young Simon began to cry.
"Samantha left me!", Young Simon sobbed with Tulip, Gummi, Jesse, Grace, and Simon feeling bad as was Young Grace, although she was able to speak to him.
"Hey. It's scary here. But you're fine now.", young Grace assured before young Simon noticed her number, which read 148 while Young Simon's number read 55.
"H-How'd you get it so high?", young Simon asked.
"Oh. I'm like...really good at the train.", Young Grace spoke.
"Well, we all know that's a lie...", Tulip sighed as Gummi squeaked.
"So, you were doing better until she showed up? Who knew?", Jesse puzzled before it then showed young Grace and young Simon flying in the air with ropes tied onto flying blowfish before it then showed another memory with adolescent Simon and adolescent Grace playing chubby bunny as the former coughed the marshmallow out.
"I said it.", adolescent Simon responded.
"No, you didn't.", adolescent Grace retorted before it then showed them as certifiable teenagers speaking to a kid about the conductor at the mall car.
"And the conductor was huge! Grace saw him. He blocked out the sun, but he gave us a chance to save people like you.", memory Simon spoke.
"You don't have to be scared anymore. The Apex stick together.", memory Grace added before she and memory Simon turned their gases toward each other with the background then becoming staticky again.
"Wow. So, you two really became friends?", Tulip asked.
"That's great. I just wish you didn't go about it the wrong way, though, Grace.", Jesse responded.
"Yeah. But something was up, though. I understand now, but why did you keep it a secret from me?", Simon asked.
"Because Zenith and Polaris..., or at least, just Polaris now, was after her. I couldn't let anything happen to her. I'm sorry I had to keep it a secret from you.", Grace apologized.
"Hey. It's okay. Like I said before. I understand. And also, I'm always with you. We're a team.", Simon responded in assurance as he and Grace hugged.
"Finally. You guys made up.", Amber grinned as she, Kazar, Tuba, Atticus, Alan Dracula, Miko, Five, Lake, Lena, and Damien arrived.
"Guys! There you are!", Tulip grinned.
"What happened?", Lake asked.
"What happened was that the Omega Glitch made us relive our past memories. Some of which weren't for the better.", Simon responded.
"But also, most of which was worth it.", Grace added, making Simon grin before a big shadow crept over them, making the grins disappear.
"Ah, yes. It's so much easier to be hurt yourselves then to let others be hurt for you, isn't it? The bond that you all created has been extinguished. Don't you see? You think you're helping her, but your really just being cruel. She. Doesn't. Want you.", Polaris taunted as Simon panted heavily before roaring as he tried to attack only for the Omega Glitch to blast him away.
"Simon!", Grace shouted before she and the others rushed to his aid as he got back up.
"As if I'd let my plans be ruined by people like you who are sick in the head. I thought you got me, Zenith. After all, you were so eager to see me succeed. Well I won't allow all my hard work to end here.", Polaris spoke before looking to the Omega Glitch.
"You seem to be eager to help me, so I know you'll happily give your life for my cause, won't you?", Polaris spoke before he then put the glitch inside himself and started changing as the Omega Glitch merged with him outside of the memories while the others saw normal Polaris but with his voice changing to sound more monstrous and mechanical.
"I'll be a good sport and acknowledge you were smarter then me, Apex. I respect your perseverance, but in the end, I will still be the victor.", Polaris discouraged before Hazel started crying again.
"Stop it, stop it!", Hazel cried before Polaris took her out of the memories.
"Help me!", Hazel shouted as Polaris transformed into a sort of large creature outside.
"NOW HEROES I'LL HAVE YOU RETURN HAZEL TO ME!", Polaris smirked in a demonic voice as he and Hazel disappeared.
"Hazel!", Grace shouted before the purple bolts started entering from all corners and then zapped the gang, coating them with static up to their necks.
Meanwhile, back in the Origami Car, the transformer Polaris glared at Max's comatose body before speaking.
"Honestly, Zenith? I may have seen your betrayal coming, but truthfully, I liked what we had. Now, I have no use for you. Your usefulness has ended.", Polaris spoke as he then tipped Max to the ground and then smashed his own tube of Tape bots, releasing them just as Hazel hurriedly held on to Tuba.
"Tuba!", Hazel shouted.
"Naughty girl... You belong to me! With your powers, I can end this infected society, cure this hero sickness!", Polaris shouted as he grabbed Hazel, who was crying, before stepping away as snippets of his hands and feet were shown and giving a demonic laughter before jumping with a roar.
A/N: Oh, no! Hazel's been captured by Polaris! And it looks like things are going to get darker from here on out the next time, but don't worry. He'll get what he deserves., That's all I can say for now. For now, you'll just have to read the next and final chapter coming up.
